Re: NetBSD LiveUSB

Hi,

You say, "Make a NetBSD live image is so simple," but maybe only for you (and 
me:). Imagine those many users (I saw their blogs as they shed tears that "No 
USB image is available for NetBSD").

There are many users -
1) Like you and me
2) Like users in companies that need a quick decision, so how can this help 
them? -

They need to install NetBSD first, so they rather choose Linux (as installing is 
pain for such users).
3) Users like the second half of me who could not install NetBSD as I have about 
dozens of OS's on my HD and I could not install NetBSD on the same disk where I 
had OpenBSD (these probably do not like each other and I felt the same pain:). 
Deleting partitions would mean many hours of lost time for me. The second half 
of mine also includes this Tantric philosophy; I'd be happy to see a guy coming 
to a school and showing NetBSD on a USB stick to the school staff including 
little children. This is love. If you want to let people feel pain, that is 
probably your option. I could not install NetBSD with dozens of OS's on my HD 
and the work I did was my option.

Thank you,
Juraj
